I noticed in faculty prayer time Monday that several other members had better attitudes than I did about waiting for God to act. They had a quiet assurance, remembering times in the past that God had acted on the behalf of His children. It was calming to look at our water shortage that way. We were confident that God loved us and was with us, even before He acted.
Last night, a "five-ring rain" (see previous post for an explanation) fell. The rain was just pounding down. Today it continued during the day, something unusual even in wet season. When it was time to come home for lunch, it was raining hard. And most of us faculty members didn't have umbrellas with us. John, the one who prayed so trustingly, did.
We brought our umbrellas, and used them, on our walk back to the faculty building this afternoon. You can see Jeff walking up our familiar road, lined with glorious mud puddles.
Outside the door, the umbrellas were lined up. We thank the Lord for sending such a dramatic answer to prayer. Three more rings on our tank have filled during the day. Our tank is full. We can't wait to hear reports from others about how full their water tanks are.
